Arrangementen

Arrangements for instrumental ensemble:

In the course of the years conductor Michel Havenith has been writing arrangements specifically for and performed by the Dutch Ebony Ensemble of which he is conductor and artistic leader.

A growing number of these arrangements are available for comparable instrumental ensembles.

Since all arrangements were written for the Ebony Ensemble, all parts are for solo instruments. The instrumentation is constant, with a few exceptions.

• Violin 1
• Violin 2
• Viola
• Cello
• Double Bass
• [Harp]
• Horn (F)
• Clarinet (B-flat or A or Bass Clarinet)
• Flute (or Piccolo)

In total 8 or 9 (scores with harp) players. Clarinet parts are usually in B-flat or A, in some cases also Bass Clarinet (by the same player). In a few cases the instrument list above is extended with additional parts for Bassoon or Percussion. All arrangements have been performed in public.

All scores and parts are available in pdf-format with A4 paper size. The Donemus edition scores are available as download (B4 size) and as hardcopy (B4 and A4 size). Parts are available as download or hardcopy (A4 size).
